Right now I'm using twitter because it's the only way I can keep track of whats happening in Iran. None of the mainstream media is really touching it, and twitter offers a great way for people to use their voices in more or less realtime.
Correction Alan:
"Right now I'm using twitter because it's the only way I can keep track of whats happening in Iran."
Should be
"Right now I'm using twitter because it's the only way I can keep track of whats happening in the north of Tehran."
BIG DIFFERENCE! VERY BIG DIFFERENCE!
